I think the film was charming and innocent. The story is very character driven, and the dialogue is salient. It brought me memories from the time when I returned to Peru at the age of 13, it was a alien country to me even though that was my place of birth. The film forced me to relive those times, with the many adventures I had reuniting with family, and making new friends. I think the director did a great job with having the story told through a child's P.O.V. (point of view), and the way "Tomiche" and "Carol" found each other was remarkably funny, and original. I do agree with others who have commented that the movie is not AMAZING, but it is a story with many merits, and the value is unquestionable.
